AMPLIFIER WIRING

Power Connections

Orion 2002 Fuse Size: (1) 25 AMP

Orion 3002 Fuse Size: (1) 30 AMP

Minimum 8 AWG power and ground cable is recommended for acceptable per- formance.

Fuse power wire prior to wire passing through panels or near sharp edges and less than 18" from battery.

Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier.

Add extra ground wire (minimum 8 AWG) between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis.

NOTE: The addition of a ground wire from the battery to the chassis of the vehicle improves the ability of the battery to supply power to the amplifier. This is recom- mended because the current delivery of the factory electrical system was designed only to accommodate electronics supplied by the auto manufacturer.
